always thankful when such are
lifted out of our list. The sooner
the better. They generally refuse
to take the paper after receiving ii
two or three years without paying
for it-a plain steal and an insult
added. Or else they move away
without paying a nickle. In either
case it is a cowardly act, such as nc

and don't owe cent, walk into the

you do not wish the paper, or can't
afford to take itany longer. If you
are on the hog plan, chuck it back
in the Office and mark it refused.
